Instructions left out one step, but there was an additional piece of paper to amend instructions, but even with that extra step found it difficult to get payload bay doors open without nicking white paint on top of payload bay door centerline because I used finger nail to pry open door.Also, I was not able to remove top of crew cabin to reveal flight deck and then the mid-deck. Was able to follow drawings to assemble various accessories.Other problem was getting payload bay doors open. Can also display with shuttle in SRB separation mode and External Tank separation mode, as well as landing/landed mode with landing gear extended! No parachute though!.Only problems I had was that instructions are in Japanese. Better than any “American” made model of the Space Shuttle I have seen for sale on Internet.All parts are moveable, i.e., wing flaps, rudder, landing gear, payload bay doors with cargo to be placed inside.External Tank umbilical doors open and close in order to mount orbiter on external tank.Crew compartment removable top to see flight deck and also the mid-deck.Snap on Solid Rocket Boosters that are detachable! Detachable External Tank.Several different stands are provided to display the shuttle in launch configuration, in flight configuration with open payload bay doors, with payload inside or being held by the remote manipulator robotic arm. I just received this model and it is fantastically detailed.
